Conservation Corps
Many Corps Programs take place in the backcountry (remote areas), where members build trails, prevent forest fires, or restore critical habitat. Teams typically live together in a cabin or other central location and work on short-term, focused work trips (known as “hitches”) that are guided by SCA field leaders. Other Corps Programs work in urban or rural communities, where crew members team up to conduct environmental education or public outreach. Participants may live together at one site or work at individual sites within the same region.
